Update 28 May ... Ok, tomorrow is a big day. We get to crunch all of our numbers and see if you have what it takes to budget your life. That means today you'll need to make sure all of your work so far is done in detail. See the checklist below to make sure you have everything together and saved.



Update 24 May ... We will spend the first couple of minutes getting everybody to the end of the Must Do sheet. While we wait for everybody to get there, you may work on your LA project.


When everybody is ready, I would like you to create a word document in your After School Special folder and call it "Shopping List"...we're spending your money today!



Update 23 May ...

This afternoon I need you to complete the 'Comparing Lives' activity below. Remember that you will ALL need to have ALL of your information gathered for your career in order to complete this. Get this info out for others to see, then you may QUIETLY move about the room comparing your info with what others have found.



When you have completed this, please look at the following activity, Must Do activities. In order to complete this, you must have fully completed your So Much To Do.. sheet.



I was asked to put up a checklist of things you need done for this assignment. I think that this is a good idea, since things have been a bit scattered the last week or so:

After School Special Checklist:
  • MY CAREER information. The ppt below lists what you need and some links to help you find it.
  • 'So Much To Do' sheet.
..and that's it so far. There hasn't been much asked of you yet on this assignment. I don't want to hear any excuses why this couldn't have been done over the past week and a half. Everything that comes up is based on the information you provide here, so it needs to get done. If it is not, we will need to find a place for you to be during that class and you will need to catch up on your own time.

Update 9 May ... Today you will need to finish up any incomplete activity from yesterday. Your career info and your So much to do sheet need to be done to the best of your ability. When this is finished, please open and complete the following document. You will need the information you found for your career. Updated again... We didn't get enough done today to move on to the activity below. Please have the research and the So Much... sheet done before I get back on Thursday. We'll move on from there. Be nice to Mr. Hobbs.



Update 7 May ... Today you will have classtime to finish researching all of the required elements of your chosen career. Any details you can get will be helpful to you. If you have finished that, please let me know so I can give you the green light to move on to the next part.



Update 2 May...
We've just gone over the requirements for part one of the After School Special. Below, you will find the first part of the presentaiton from class. Use the links provided to choose a career that suits you for this project. Then look for all of the information needed on your chosen career. If you are having a tough time, you may need to do a google search, or even make a few phone calls to get the research done. You may use your headphones, but please keep the volume down and do not spend all of your time searching for tunes. Remember, in the Kauraleigh mandate, I reserve the right to revoke these priveleges.
